The climate in our country is very variant and does not consider the normal 4 seasons. Here, in just one day we can see all of the seasons! And this is why we recommend our visitors to be prepared for any occasion, either for rain or sunny days.
A very important factor which alter our world is global warming, which has evolved into a high risky contributor due to the glaciers melting in Peruvian Andes, and it also affect the normal development of our weather.
Nonetheless, something that is very marked in our country and in some cities here in the Andes is that we only have 2 main seasons during the year:
Dry Season: We consider the dry season from the end of April until the end of September, in this period the first rains will start. For this reason, this is the best time to visit our region and our amazing Machu Picchu and also avoid any inconveniences.
Rainy Season: This season starts on October until the end of April approximately, so during this time it is advised to all of our visitors to pack their belongings into waterproof bags, as in our region it can be sunny the first 2 hours and then have a heavy rain.
We know that there are extreme climates worldwide, but this must not stop us from our longing and desire to explore the world, to discover marvelous cultures and interact with them. Be welcomed to Perú and Machu Picchu.

We booked Rainbow Mountain with Kenko and did this after our 2 day Inca Trail Hike. Our guide for this tour was Grober. Kenko is a locally owned company and for this tour it was just the 2 of us. You are at a very high altitude, so we decided to take the horses most of the route. This was a big help, because even hiking the short way at the end was difficult because you are at 5,000 meters or 16,000 ft. Grober was a great guide, he gave us information and history of the Rainbow Mountain.
This is a relatively new site, discovered in 2015.

Elvis was an amazing guide. He shared the history of rainbow mountain and the culture of Peru. He made sure everyone was comfortable with the high altitude and provided support where he saw it was needed. Absolutely breathe taking views and we enjoyed riding the horses provided by villagers. Elvis is also a skilled photographer!

After hearing much hype about Rainbow mountain, I decided to hike this the following day after climbing Machu Picchu mountain. The air is thin and the wind can pick up anytime so dress in layers and drink coca tea before arriving here. The hike itself is moderate but because of the high elevation, it may require frequent stops to recharge and carry on. My tour guide gave me an option to do Red mountain if I could make it back on time so I did. I felt Red Mountain (which adds about 40 minutes to the trip total) was more beautiful and much less crowded. Be prepared to pay 10 soles at the entrance and 10 at the top but it is totally worth the price and effort. I felt the tour was nicely organized and punctual. I highly recommend this company again for tours around cusco.
